My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

With a water sword materializing in his hand, he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka Ryuou not far away and asked in a flippant tone, "How many times have we fought?"

"Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten, Dragon King of the East Sea? No, perhaps it's more appropriate to call you by another name, the Uncrowned Dragon King Beidou!"

Today is the day of our final battle. I will defeat you, reclaim Mash, and become the Martial Arts King!

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched out her right hand and summoned an invisible sword. The tangible water elemental sword and the invisible Void Sword collided in the next instant.

The two people, who were originally several meters apart, instantly appeared in front of each other, and a sound like the clanging of iron rang out.

"With this outrageous physical ability, what did you do to Mash?!"

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka increased the force of his blows while questioning, believing that Hokuto was consuming Mashu's already limited lifespan in exchange for temporary power due to this abnormal physical condition.

Faced with this martial arts emperor who has been following in his footsteps, Mashu, the uncrowned dragon king who temporarily calls himself the East Sea Dragon King, remains calm.

"I simply transformed Mashu into my shape."

"Right in front of you, without you even noticing, your beloved Mashu has gradually transformed into the shape of my North Star~"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke with an air of utter disdain, Hokuto's smile, which had been excited about his appearance, gradually froze in the real world.

What the hell did I say?

Little by little, it's taking the shape of my Big Dipper?

Could I really say such things? Would I really say such things? What happened to my future self that turned me into this terrible person?

"I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste."

Ningguang, gently covering her face with a folding fan, spoke to Beidou with a flippant expression and a surprised tone. Beidou, with his legs crossed, shook his head and casually replied:

"I don't know what crazy thing I'll do in the future, but I wouldn't do something so stupid and pointless now."

I really like a quote from Solomon: "If Mashu is not in your heart, then drawing your sword will naturally make you a god."

If we slightly modify and generalize this saying, it would be: "With no woman in one's heart, drawing a sword naturally makes one a god."

Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed. I, Beidou, have no interest in things that only hinder me from becoming stronger and challenging higher peaks.

Oh right, men are the same. I, Beidou, am not interested in these things. What I am interested in is becoming stronger step by step.

Then, they will face off against Morax to see whether the Geo Archon, who once ruled Liyue, is stronger, or the future Uncrowned Dragon King will prevail.

Beidou directly stated his current dream, and Zhongli, who was drinking tea at the time, was slightly taken aback. Ah... he was just drinking tea and he actually heard a challenge.

But to actually have the courage to swing a sword at yourself? The uncrowned dragon king, not bad at all.

"Women can affect how quickly you draw your sword, but rich women won't."

After hearing Beidou's words, Ningguang instinctively said something. In the real world, Beidou didn't seem to care much about her bizarre remarks on the screen, while the battle on the screen was almost over.

Facing the already weakened Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash perfectly demonstrated the meaning of "crushing".

"Kid, what did you just say... you wanted to be some kind of king?"

Mashu's lips curled slightly, maintaining her arrogant demeanor, as she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, whom she had lifted high into the air by the neck, and said this.

Chapter 873: Pass it down, the Grass God betrayed the laws of nature and chose to swear allegiance to the Collapse.

"Solomon, you are still a long way from the realm of the king."

Mashu, who was carrying Fujimaru Ritsuka with one hand, said something and then let go. Fujimaru Ritsuka, who fell to the ground, felt powerless. Even the Martial Arts Emperor was still weak in this situation.

"Don't worry, I was just testing you to provoke your anger."

Emotions will only slow down my progress towards becoming stronger. Whether it's a woman or a man, I, the Uncrowned Dragon King Beidou, have absolutely no interest in them.

The little one you love is currently sleeping soundly inside this body.

"Once I've opened a passage connecting to the outside world and returned to my original body, that will be the time to return this body to him."

Mashu looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka sitting on the ground and said this, and Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

But that's normal, since the uncrowned dragon king in my memory wasn't some lecherous devil.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King, what has happened on your end?"

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked tentatively, sounding somewhat confused, and the Dragon King readily gave an answer:

"Three years ago, when I was passing through the border of this world, I was ambushed by Romani Archman, the Minister of Medical Affairs of Chaldea. At that time, I was unable to escape smoothly due to a small mistake."

Then, out of desperation, I chose to find a destined person in this world to whom I could possess. My current state is somewhat similar to that of a heroic spirit possessing another in this world.

Mash said this at that moment, and as she finished speaking, Mordred, who had gained some understanding of Chaldea after a period of contact, spoke with some uncertainty:

"Wait, you just mentioned that name, right? You mentioned the name Romani Archman."

Mash glanced at Mordred, hesitated for a moment, and then replied:

"I don't really know who Romani Archman is, but the only thing I'm sure of is that he has great strength, no less than mine."

"To be able to severely injure me outside this timeline and then seal me within Mash as a Heroic Spirit, that powerful Romani must have surpassed the level of an Emperor or King."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously prepared to contact Chaldea, intending to directly ask the doctor who he really was.

"If she's right, Romani... what exactly is your purpose in hiding within Chaldea with such immense power?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned and muttered to herself, when Mashu's voice suddenly rang out: "We can't afford to be distracted right now, Solomon!"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately sprang into action, but her initial wariness faltered slightly. Were there still any enemies left to deal with?

The Great Lucky Grass King has just escaped, Diego has already met his death, and now...

As Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered, the enemy arrived at the scene, and at that moment, a chilling sword aura rushed directly towards her.

In the next instant, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her Void Shield and appeared in front of her to block the sword's edge. Everyone turned their attention to the location of the slasher, where Jeanne Alter, who had escaped not long ago, was standing.

"How dare you! How dare you!"

At this moment, Jeanne Alter looked noticeably off; purple markings were beginning to spread across her neck.

"This is... Honkai energy?"

After identifying the type of energy, Mashu spoke in a solemn tone.

"Honkai energy?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's tone carried a slight hint of doubt, clearly indicating that she didn't understand this kind of energy very well.

"The power of Honkai dares to attempt to invade the realm of Heavenly Principle; without a doubt, this is a wrong choice!"

At this moment, the silvery-white texture was trying to cover the purple texture, but even so, it only delayed the process for a short time.

Compared to the Honkai Consciousness that directly intervened, the passive and tacitly power-providing Tenri, which only offered symbolic assistance, failed in this short-term confrontation—or rather, this short-term contact.

"My Herrscher persona... What utter disrespect! To actually attempt to create a Herrscher persona for me, the Great Auspicious Grass King."

At this moment, Jeanne Alter was still trying to resist, but unfortunately, her resistance was useless against the power of the Honkai consciousness.

A few seconds later, Jeanne Alter closed her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the First Herrscher had arrived.

With her came a force from beyond the world called Honkai, the purest form of power capable of altering the rules of order.

In the Type-Moon universe, at time AD 1431, the first Honkai outbreak occurred.

The torrential rain summoned by the Dragon King of the East Sea still hadn't stopped, and amidst the downpour, Jeanne Alter opened her eyes and revealed a healthy smile:

"The power of justice is limited, so... therefore, I choose to swear allegiance to the Honkai!"

Gazing at my unrecognizable self in the ocean of consciousness, I have now transcended the past, transcended the foolish soul of the Great Auspicious Grass King.

Let me, in my guise as the Herrscher, continue the legend of the Grass God.

Can you feel this immense power? This is the complete Sumeru Grass God, this is the complete me!

"Now, let me show you the power called the Herrscher of Reason, directly bestowed upon you by the Honkai consciousness."

As she finished speaking, Jeanne Alter slightly raised her hand, while a dozen or so Frostmourne swords behind her were already ready to take aim.

In the real world, Bronya was staring intently at Jeanne Alter's performance on the screen. Was that... a power from the same source as her?

As the current Herrscher of Reason, Bronya was curious about the extent to which Jeanne Alter, who possessed the same power as her, could achieve.

"Understanding, reconstruction. Through the power of Honkai energy, I can reconstruct all things in the world in my hands. Now, let me let you taste the superimposed, endless life-absorbing domain."

Although in the past, before being sealed away by the great god, I chose to foolishly retain my knowledge instead of passing it on to someone else.

But it's not a big problem. Even without knowledge, I am still the grass god symbolizing wisdom!

At this moment, Jeanne Alter snapped her fingers, and in an instant, dozens of Frostmourne swords condensed behind her. The power of the Life Drain Domain descended upon this devastated land that had already crumbled due to the Honkai.

"See? This is the result of dozens of life-absorbing domains working simultaneously. It's a power you simply cannot resist."

Jeanne Alter spoke with confidence, but a few seconds later she realized something was wrong. Wait, why did those people seem completely unaffected?

Chapter 874: Director, save me!

"That's it?"

Faced with Jeanne Alter's overlapping life-draining fields, Fujimaru Ritsuka's face revealed a somewhat subtle expression.

At the same time, the volcano that was sent into outer space by the eruption returned to Earth.

"The Great Auspicious Grass King?"

The director, who had just returned to Earth, was completely bewildered. How come that guy has come back again?

How long has it been since I left Earth? Could it be that the Great Lucky Grass King has already found a way to break the move that took over Mashu's body?

Oh, right, Mashu!

At this moment, the director looked at Mashu, who said in a serious tone, "Colleagues, the situation is urgent. Let's kill the Great Lucky Grass King."

?

Upon hearing this, the director glanced at the group who were now ready for battle. Wait a minute, Mashu just launched herself into outer space with a single shot. Aren't you guys at all bothered?

"Huh, what... is going on? Why does it feel like I'm not absorbing any life force at all?"

At this moment, Black Needle also realized that something was wrong. Why was his life-absorbing field so weak against the enemy, almost as if it had no effect at all?

"Be confident, you didn't absorb any life force at all."
